Slagteren 1883 - 1928

"Slagteren" (The Butcher), painted between 1883 and 1928 by Danish artist Peter Hansen, depicts a butcher standing in front of his shop in a bustling street scene. The composition showcases the artist's keen eye for detail, capturing the textures of the butcher's clothing, the meat, and the cobblestone street. Hansen's use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes evokes the atmosphere of a working-class neighborhood, making the scene feel both intimate and authentic. This painting is a prime example of Danish realism and can be found at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
